The Crypto Commons Gathering 2026 is the flagship annual event of the Crypto Commons Association (CCA), bringing together leading researchers, developers, practitioners, and visionaries at the forefront of blockchain-based commons governance.
This is not another crypto conference. This is where the future of regenerative digital infrastructure is being designed—where market mechanisms meet the common good, and where distributed ledger technology becomes a tool for planetary stewardship.
Crypto commons represent a paradigm shift in how we design economic systems. Unlike traditional crypto projects focused on extraction, crypto commons actively use market mechanisms and economic incentives to reward contributions to the common good.
This emerging interdisciplinary field combines:
| Segment | Percentage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Developers & Technologists | 30% | Protocol engineers, smart contract developers |
| Researchers & Academics | 25% | PhDs, professors, research fellows |
| Practitioners & Founders | 25% | Leaders of crypto commons projects, DAOs |
| Policy & Governance | 10% | Legal scholars, policy advisors |
| Investors & Funders | 10% | Impact investors, grant programs |
Unlike typical crypto events, the CCA Gathering bridges peer-reviewed research with working implementations. Our community has published in journals like Frontiers in Blockchain and simultaneously shipped production systems.
This is a curated gathering of individuals and organizations committed to:
Crypto commons sits at the intersection of computer science, economics, political science, environmental science, and philosophy.
The Gathering is designed for deep connection and collaboration, not transactional networking. Many partnerships formed at previous events have resulted in joint research publications, protocol integrations, and funded initiatives.
"Crypto commons are a subset of digital commons emerging in the context of Distributed Ledger Technology. Unlike pre-DLT commons, they actively use market mechanisms and economic incentives to reward contributions to the common good, enabling scaling of commons frameworks beyond the local and immediate."
For organizations deeply committed to the crypto commons mission
For organizations actively building in the crypto commons space
For organizations supporting the commons ecosystem
For smaller organizations and projects aligned with our mission
We welcome creative partnerships beyond financial sponsorship:
The Crypto Commons Association is proud to work with organizations leading the regenerative blockchain movement:
CCA funds and publishes peer-reviewed research on crypto commons, freely available to all. Recent publications include "Challenges and Approaches to Scaling the Global Commons" in Frontiers in Blockchain.
We support tools and frameworks for regenerative economics: token engineering methodologies, commons governance patterns, and impact measurement systems.
Your sponsorship helps ensure accessibility through travel grants, scholarship tickets, translation services, and hybrid participation options.
All event recordings, research, and resources are made freely available, contributing to the intellectual commons.
Reach out to discuss your goals and find the right partnership level.
We'll schedule a call to discuss your organization's mission, specific engagement opportunities, and customization of sponsorship benefits.
We'll formalize the partnership with a detailed benefit package, payment schedule, and timeline.
Our team will work with you on logo/brand assets, speaker coordination, promotional materials, and on-site logistics.
